Big Salad Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I used to drink several Mountain Dew's a day but now can't stand the taste of it. Whenever I do drink a Pepsi or Coke product it is usually of the zero sugar type. Really though when I eat, I usually do so with a beer or water or something like ginger ale or cream soda.

Wouldn’t have bought it deliberately, thought it was the standard one, grabbed from a shelf at a petrol station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

British MD is shit. American MD is the best.

Funnily enough, @Chindie mentioned this in a post in the trivia thread last year Quote In April 2009 a man filed a lawsuit against Pepsi after having bought a can of Mountain Dew a month before. The lawsuit was brought because the man alleged that, after having taken a swig, he poured the can into a cup, and discovered a dead mouse had been in it. He lost the lawsuit. So? Guy fakes an incident to sue corporation, gets found out, what's interesting about that? Well, the interesting thing is what formed part of the defence Pepsi put forward. Pepsi knew when the can had been made, which meant they knew when the mouse would have been in the can from. They then put forward an expert who was able to calculate that had the mouse been in the can since it was produced the liquid would have dissolved the mouse into a rubber, jelly like mass. Indeed, the expert argued, it's bones would have dissolved within a week of being submerged. Ultimately the defence also put forward arguments that the mouse was born after the can was produced and it had been dead for some time before it had gone into the liquid. But it's a very bizarre thing to see a corporation argue in court that their drink will quickly dissolve a body. As a bonus bit of Mountain Dew trivia, until recently the US version of the drink contained an ingredient called brominated vegetable oil. BVO is used as an emulsifier, effectively preventing the drink from splitting. What's so bad about that? Well, it's banned in various countries because it causes thyroid problems (mostly relating to the absorption of iodine). It's also been patented as a flame retardant, and related chemicals are actually used to improve flame resistance in plastics. Pepsi finally replaced it in the ingredients last year, though still produces a classic version apparently, for those that hate their thyroid. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
